I live in the world where:
1. 55% of Scottish voters voted NO in September - despite a lacklustre NO campaign and the fact the word 'Yes' is seen as positive.
2. It seems that last week only 35% of possible voters (either for or against the SNP) voted for them (less than the number voted Yes in the referendum), however, this was enough to win seats given the collapse of Labour/Lib Dem support. The Scottish parliament has proportional representation so those elections will perhaps be more revealing - the Scottish Conservatives have many more MSPs than MPs.
In September 44.7% of an 84.6% turn out was 37.8% of possible votes.
See for yourself.
Surely a
PR system would take account of turn out?
3. Five years is a long term in politics. With so many SNP MPs, it will be hard to blame things on the Westminster parties, and the black Gold from the North Sea is running out.
